Universal in every application. This screw connection technology is characterized by the multi-conductor connection, superior contact force, and is maintenance-free, thanks to the “Reakdyn principle”. The screw connection technology is familiar and accepted worldwide and can be used everywhere.

Simple PT Push-in connection

PT is the new generation of terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system. Extremely easy direct and tool-free wiring is now possible for conductors from 0.25 mm². The special contact spring allows easy insertion and ensures a high level of contact quality.

Compact ST spring-cage connection

The proven connection technology for applications that are sensitive to vibration. The spring-cage always exerts the same constant force on the conductor, regardless of the influence of the operator. Wiring is carried out easily via the space-saving front connection.

Fast QT QUICKON connection

Connect the conductor without stripping. The IDC fast connection technology offers a 60% reduction in wiring time. The conductor is connected easily, reliably, and quickly with just one turn of a standard screwdriver.

Robust RT bolt connection

Robust connection for conductors with ring cable lugs. RT combines the bolt connection with the advantages of the CLIPLINE complete system, such as easy potential distribution via plug-in bridges, large marking surfaces, and uniform test accessories.

COMBI plug-in connection solutions

Plug-in connections for the most stringent universal demands. The nominal current of the connected conductor can be carried through the plug-in contact. Connectors and basic terminal blocks in four connection technologies can be freely combined, thanks to the uniform plug-in zone.

CLIPLINE complete – Uniform accessories for all terminal blocks

Accessories for all connection technologies

CLIPLINE complete offers you a uniform range of accessories for all connection technologies:

The marking and test accessories are standardized and reduce your storage and logistics costs.

All terminal blocks can be freely combined, thanks to the double function shaft.

The uniform plug-in zone of the COMBI plug-in system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your application.

The multifunctional, standardized disconnect zone of all disconnect terminal blocks holds various connectors.

Flexible plug-in bridge system

To allow fast and individual potential distribution, the terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system have two function shafts. These are arranged in one line over all the terminal blocks, allowing for a combination of connection technologies. This makes it possible to implement all the tasks of potential bridging within a very short time.

Bridging between non-adjacent terminal blocks

Bridging between non-adjacent terminal blocks is established by removing individual contact tabs from the standard bridge. Two potentials can then be routed in parallel through a terminal strip. The contact points can also be marked.

Simple potential distribution

The reducing bridge allows terminal blocks with different nominal cross sections to be connected easily. The reducing bridge can be used to quickly create power blocks, e.g., a 10 mm² terminal block with a 2.5 mm² or 4 mm² terminal block. Independent of the connection technology.

Switchable bridging

The bridge bars enable individual cross connections. In test disconnect terminal blocks, the bridges ensure a short circuit of the current transducer. They can be positioned on either side of the disconnect point in the bridge shaft and securely latched in place. The short-circuit switching operation is safely performed with screw terminal points, which must be done deliberately with a tool.

Wire bridges

Terminal blocks in various widths with plug-in bridge shaft can be connected individually. The wire bridges provide maximum flexibility for all bridging tasks.

Large-surface marking

All terminal blocks have tall and flat marker grooves. Tall marker grooves are primarily used for terminal marking. They accommodate larger, tall terminal markings. Flat marker grooves, which are often used for marking individual terminal points, are used to accommodate smaller, flat markings. All materials are available unprinted or marked according to your requirements.

Standardized test system

All test plugs in the system make contact in the freely accessible function shaft. For individual measuring lines, a test plug with 2.3 mm diameter is available. More complex testing tasks can be implemented using alignable test plugs. Test adapters can be assembled individually and are ideal for use in test laboratories.

Multifunctional disconnect zone

All disconnect terminal blocks in the CLIPLINE complete system have a standardized disconnect zone. The disconnect zone accommodates various connectors such as fuse plugs, component connectors, and isolating plugs.

Patented component connector

The P-CO component connector allows you to mount components quickly and securely using contact springs. Coding ensures connection without the risk of polarity reversal. For assembly, the spring-cage connections are opened or closed inside the connector by turning a standard screwdriver.

Uniform plug-in zone

The COMBI plug-in system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your application. Its distinguishing feature is its standardized plug-in zone. This plug-in zone allows terminal blocks and connectors to be combined to suit the application, regardless of the connection technology.

Individual coding

The easy and individual coding option increases wiring reliability. Furthermore, the coding protects against mismatching. The individual coding elements are inserted at the coding position in the basic terminal block and the coding tab is removed at the corresponding point on the connector.

Latching and cable housing

Latches which are snapped onto the outside of the connector housing are available for fixing the connectors to the basic terminal blocks. Snap-on strain relief and closed cable housings are available if required to relieve the strain on the cables at the plugs. The two-piece housings can be mounted easily.
